Cards instead of ideas
Did they want it? England set a European Championship record
The English national soccer team secured an inglorious European Championship record in the round of 16 against Slovakia. After just 17 minutes, three players from the "Three Lions" had already seen a yellow card. This has never happened at a EURO since detailed data recording began in 1980.
Just three minutes had been played when referee Umut Meler reached into his breast pocket for the first time. After a fatal misplaced pass from Kieran Trippier, central defender Marc Guehi was forced to foul to prevent Slovakia from scoring.
Unique performance
The 23-year-old, who plays for Crystal Palace under coach Oliver Glasner, was rightly shown a yellow card. Just four minutes later, Kobbie Mainoo also saw yellow on his debut in the starting eleven. He hit opponent Juraj Kucka on the foot.
Real kicker Jude Bellingham was responsible for the third and thus record-breaking yellow card. In the 17th minute, he unpacked his scythe and was also justifiably cautioned for it. The third player from his team in less than 20 minutes. No team had ever achieved this "feat" since detailed data recording began.
